Operators Manual

If the annotation is associated with an audio (.WAV) or image (.jpg) file, the application

associated with that file will start and open the file. If the file is not in the default

directory My Documents\PQ, a dialog box opens so that you can navigate to the file.

Note

If clicking on an annotation marker does not seem to do anything, the Zoom

box is probably selected in the graph toolbar, instead of the Select tool.

Click the Select tool and then select the annotation.

To see overlapping annotations

Sometimes annotations are so close to each other that they actually overlap on the

Volts/Amps/Hz reference graph. When this is the case, if you click on overlapping

annotations, a menu opens and you can select either Open, to open the annotation now on

top, or Select Next Overlapping Annotation, to bring the next one to the top.

• To open the annotation now on top, choose Open.

• To bring the next annotation to the top, choose Select Next Overlapping Annotation. To

then open that annotation, click on it again and choose Open.

Note

To see overlapping annotations more clearly on the Volts/Amps/Hz

reference graph, move the selection cursors so that they just surround the

area that contains the overlapping illustrations. The Detail graph adjusts

as the cursors move, zooming in to show the area between the selection

cursors. You can now see the annotations separately.

Using Image or Voice Annotations

While you are monitoring data with a Recorder, you may find it helpful to take a picture

that relates to the power quality data you are recording, or to record verbal comments as

you observe the conditions or review the data being measured. You can then associate the

image or recording with the data being recorded by adding annotations that reference

them.

The PDA includes a microphone for recording notes which are saved as .WAV files, and

an optional camera accessory is available on the PDA which will capture images as .jpg

files.

You can associate both images and audio files with the data being gathered in the

Recorder by inserting annotations and specifying the name of a .WAV or .jpg file. After

you download data from the Recorder, you can then move the image and audio files to

the PC along with the recorded data (.odn) file.

Note

You can also associate other types of files with the annotation. For

example, if you had a .MPJ file with a movie, or a .DOC file with

associated information. You can enter any file name using this annotation

method.

Inserting Image or Voice Annotations

1. Set up the Recorder and begin monitoring.

2. Using your PDA-cam or another camera, take a picture of what you want to

capture.

3. Click the Annotate icon to display the Annotate screen.
